Camp Testimonials

I got a lot out of this activity despite being familiar with course and event. The Friday night talk was helpful for technique and approach to overall IRONMAN event. Mental and nutritional management are so important to success. The description and management of bike course was excellent. Even more valuable was the ability to ride the challenging course chaperoned by experienced riders and feel safe. Thank you Carrie, Barry and Brian. The breakdown of the swim course was excellent, especially sighting tips. Due to newness of run course(1 week} we did not have as detailed a breakdown. However, the ability to run the course and visualize aspects of it with support was valuable. The dinner was excellent as well as company. Thank you again.

Trudy and I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. You have been so inspirational and we have learned so much. It has given me that extra bit of motivation needed to push through the final months of training.

Thank you all so much for this weekend! Being from out of town, I wasn't sure how the weekend would go, and I was absolutely blown away by those of you I had a chance to meet! Thank you for being so welcoming, for being so patient with me on the bike, and for just being all around kind and fun to spend time with! I can see why you all love training together! I look forward to seeing you all again in October, and if any of you ever find yourselves in Richmond, VA, definitely let me know!!

I was thinking about the race a year ago. I loved the happiness I felt driving home that day. It's still very fresh in my mind. It sure was nice having you out there supporting all the athletes!

I'm going to start hanging out places like the Utica Pike and Cherokee Park and tell everyone I see how Barry took me from couch to IRONMAN in six months.
